To start a race, go down into the lower part of the building. Stand in the pink cylinder and choose from up to six races. In order to enter a race the player must have sufficient [[Money|funds]]. Each race has a different fee to pay to take part in it. After winning each race the player will receive the money from each competitor. So if the entry fee is $200 and you win you get $800. Below is the entry fee and the reward for first place. The Vice Street Racer's motto is "Earn Cash, not Kudos".

*Normally, you start the race by driving into the pink cylinder. That way, you always start in the last position. However, you can start the race by hitting one of your competitors, which means you can start in the first position by driving ahead of all of your competitors and backing off and hitting one of them.

*A least, in VC Endurance, the map reveals that the race pass through the port, but at the start, the nearest intersection is used. Probably the race was changed due to being very large or due to the traffic at the port (specifically trucks).

+

*It should be noted that since the player needs to get a car and drive to the start point, and then park in the red starting position and can do just about everything before the race starts, he can "cheat" by taking a [[Rocket Launcher]] to the other competitors and blowing them all up (finishing and getting the "fast reload" ability helps greatly with this). This will usually garner one or two stars wanted rating. But since the other competitors are now out of the picture, the player can easily hit the nearest [[Pay'n' Spray]] and then can finish any races at his leisure, even if he is driving a [[Faggio]].
